JUST the sight of those over-priced, bug-eyed Bratz dolls with their big glossy pouts used to make me feel slightly queasy.

So the thought of sitting through a feature length film about them didn't fill me with glee to say the least.

My eight-year-old daughter and her six-year-old brother, however, had no such qualms.

But behind all the lipstick, bubblegum and attitude, this is a movie to warm the cockles on a cold winter's night.

Timed to coincide with Anti-Bullying Week, the movie's message is that's its okay to stand up and be different as four friends are nearly driven apart by the High School bully but eventually they unite and learn the value of true friendship. Bless.
